Oh my but it works wonders for flushing out allergens and "stuff" from your nose. I don't use a neti pot but have an improvised method involving cottonballs and a coffee cup. I've been doing it for about 12 years now and swear by it. I also taught my kids how to do it at a young age! Would probably avoid coffee and other non-saline water things.

That's so funny -- I just watched a different neti pot demo video. I'm actually thinking of getting one to see if it'll help my tinnitis. I'd never heard of ear washers, either, 'til I met my husband (and then it took 20+ years before I tried it myself).
